Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Aaaand Americans do absolutely nothing about this obscenity.

[–] Tehbaz@lemmy.wtf 1 points 38 minutes ago (2 children)

IKR. They spend their existence lecturing the rest of the world about 'muh democracy' and 'muh constitution' but when push comes to shove they won't do shit to the tyrants in charge.

[–] umbrellacloud@leminal.space 1 points 55 seconds ago

You know the people who 'lecture the rest of the world about muh democracy' are billonares, and the people you're asking to solve the problem are peasents and homeless people, right?

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 1 points 20 minutes ago

except the ones that try to do something about it get locked up and tried for a death penalty even though the evidence is mostly fabricated.

Was it his spawn with Satan?

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I talked to him for about 20 or 30 minutes about my being sex trafficked by my uncle and Jeffrey Epstein in 1984 while I was 13 and [pregnant] ...

Hmm, this really pushes the timeline of the Trump-Epstein friendship back some years. In this 2002 New York Magazine interview, he says that he's known Epstein for 15 years (circa. 1987). But this murder happened in 1984, how long had they actually known each other?

[–] Cruel@programming.dev 1 points 34 minutes ago

This happened before he met Ghislaine and well before all documented abuse victims.

Nothing seems credible. They waited almost 40 years, right before the 2020 election, to say something. And take no efforts to gather corroborating evidence.

Everything he accuses others of doing he has done. So all the "post-birth abortion" strawmen had to come from somewhere...there it is.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 30 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I'm actually pretty surprised by the baby murder

[–] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 5 points 1 hour ago

im not surprised by anything at this point. he is an evil piece of shit. We've only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the awful shit he's probably done.

Not expecting it but not surprised. The man only considers the value of a person's life in what they can do for them.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 44 points 10 hours ago

It would be easier to count who didn’t.

Half this fucking country believes raping children and murdering newborn babies is okay as long as a republican is doing it.

There is no justice.

They made sure of that.

All there can ever even POSSIBLY be now is vengeance.

All it will take is the right people in the right places doing the right thing just ONCE for each of them.

But I know better than to hope.

Does anyone remember when it was just Trump blowing Bill Clinton and/or a horse? Those were the days.

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 22 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

This show stopped making sense years ago. Too many hack writers, too many crazy ideas.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 18 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

We had the sense not to pick up the second season but for some idiotic reason we were sold the third.

i would like to gift every stooge of this regime a stylish eighteenth century french nobility haircut, about shoulder length.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 133 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Pro life MAGAts about to reach a whole new level of disingenuous whataboutisms

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 121 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

The baby was born already. They couldn't give two shits what happened to it.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Inshallah, the will of God!

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 70 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Must be one of those "post birth abortions" Trump ranted about on the campaign trail.

"Every accusation is a confession." This statement gets more true by the hour.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 22 points 10 hours ago

"Every accusation is a confession"

With all the shit Q-Anon claimed in mind,

I would not be surprised at all if it turned out the Republican party has a child rape dungeon under a pizza parlor somewhere.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 22 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Republicans only care about the pre-born*. Pre-school kids can get fucked.

*They don’t really care about the pre-born.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

Pre-school kids can get fucked.

And some take that literally.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 55 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Who CARES if Trump RAPES PREGNANT CHILDREN and then Post Birth Abortions the Baby! There's REAL Problems going on in the Country like DEMOCRATS KILLING BABIES!

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

And Haitians are eating the babies!

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 174 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

If anyone else was linked or even hinted at being linked to something like this, they'd be in prison before you could say howdy there.

[–] Cruel@programming.dev 0 points 45 minutes ago (1 children)

That's not true. You need credible evidence that something illegal happened. An uncorroborated report almost 40 years after the incident, made just weeks before the 2020 election is not credible or useful for prosecution.

[–] FarceOfWill@infosec.pub 1 points 7 minutes ago

I try to live my life so if anyone claimed i murdered babies people would react with incredulity, not guillotine images.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 110 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (5 children)

And if it was a dem, republicans wouldn't stop crying about that for years.

They'd break their fingers clutching their pearls.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 66 points 12 hours ago (6 children)

We're still hearing about hunter bidens laptop. I'm surprised they finally shut up about Obamas tan suit.

This is 100% true because Trump would definitely do this. I don't need to see any further evidence, thank you, lock him up.

[–] Zer0_F0x@lemmy.world 59 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Yeah but what about that time when Obama wore a tan suit?

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 79 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, kudos to whoever selected the headline image for this article…
